Xie Sen looked at the two of them and thought to himself, 'No wonder they look so similar. So they're grandfather and grandson.' He thought back to the scene where he interacted with the two of them and thought that their clingy skills were similar.
"He's the neighbor I was talking about." Sir said.
Long Teng's eyes lit up instantly. He jumped in front of Xie Sen and put his arm around his shoulder. His face was full of anticipation. "The spicy jerky is super delicious. Do you have more? I want to eat more! "
Xie Sen looked at Sir. Sir spread his hands. "I didn't tell anyone. This kid found out when I was eating." He snorted. "He ate most of it!"
Xie Sen pushed Long Teng's hand away. "There's no more."
Long Teng's smiling face fell and his face was filled with disappointment. A second later, he suddenly raised his smile again, revealing his bright white teeth. "Tell me where you bought it. I'll keep an eye on it every day. I'll definitely be able to buy it!"
Sir nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes. Tell us where you bought it. This kid is fast. He'll definitely get it. If he gets it, he'll share some with you."
Xie Sen looked at them awkwardly. He didn't buy it at all!
He said vaguely, "It's on the Internet. Just search for spicy jerky."
"No," Sir immediately said. "I've searched online many times. I even bought a lot of spicy food. It's completely different from the spicy jerky. It's super disgusting!"
Xie Sen seemed to be thinking. "Maybe the online store was closed because there's no more stock."
Sir System looked at Xie Sen, and a thought flashed across his eyes.
He originally thought that Xie Sen bought the spicy jerky online and didn't tell him the seller's details because he was worried that he would steal it. Now it seemed that his guess was wrong.
"What a pity." Long Teng pouted. He didn't have any other thoughts. He believed Xie Sen's reason.
Xie Sen smiled. "If there's nothing else, I'll go home first!" He said and walked towards the apartment.
"Hey." Long Teng caught up with him and put his hand on his shoulder. "Is your contract beast done resting? You promised to fight with me!"
Xie Sen felt helpless. Why was this person still thinking about this?!
Sir System slapped Long Teng's forehead. "I don't care if you like to fight, but you can't fight with females. Don't you want to find a wife?"
Long Teng covered his forehead and pouted: "But his contract beast is very strong, I want to fight."
Xie Sen was speechless and emphasized, "I'm a male!" He opened his wristband and pointed at the Contracted Beast Pen, "Do you see that, male!"
The last time he went to the Contract Beast Research Institute, after confirming that he was a male, his personal information column was no longer blank.
Sir System looked at him in surprise. Long Teng jumped up happily. "Grandpa, can I fight with him now?" He shook Xie Sen's shoulder. "Fight with me!"
Xie Sen slapped his hand away. "You're shaking me to pieces." He pointed at himself helplessly. "Do you think I'm a match for you?"
"It's okay, I'll fight with your contract beast one-on-one."
"What's your contract beast?" Sir System asked curiously.
Before Xie Sen could speak, Long Teng quickly answered for him, "It's a mimicry beast. It's very strong. It disguised itself as a chili tree and defeated the Wolfhound Beast in one move!"
Sir System looked at Xie Sen. "A chili tree?" He paused. "The spiciness of the spicy jerky, is it the spiciness of chili?"
Xie Sen laughed. "I don't know. I've never eaten chili before, so I can't compare."
"Is that so?" Sir System smiled until his eyes narrowed.
'Narrowed eyes are all monsters!'
Xie Sen laughed dryly and nodded. Long Teng did not notice the difference between the two. He continued to pester Xie Sen to fight with him. When Xie Sen walked to the door of the apartment, he wanted to lie on top of Xie Sen.
When MeiIn came back, he saw this scene. He had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were cold. He reached out and grabbed Long Teng's collar and pulled him away from Xie Sen.
Long Teng almost reflexively hit behind him. MeiIn stepped back and dodged it easily. Long Teng turned his head and saw MeiIn. His eyes lit up. "It's you!"
MeiIn let go of his collar. "What are you doing here?"
Long Teng pointed at Xie Sen happily. "Looking for a fight."
MeiIn frowned. "You want to bully him?"
"No, didn't you see it that day? His contract beast is very powerful! I'll fight with his contract beast, not him. "Long Teng jumped on the spot and retorted.
"That won't do." MeiIn had some guesses about Xie Sen's contract beast. He knew that the less his contract beast appeared in front of people, the better. "If you want to fight, I'll fight with you."
"Really?" Long Teng's voice suddenly rose. He was excited, but he still had some doubts. "Didn't you say you didn't want to fight with me?"
MeiIn said, "I'll fight with you. You're not allowed to fight with him."
Long Teng blinked. He looked at his fingers and said, "Can't I fight with both of them?"
"No." MeiIn flatly refused.
Long Teng looked at MeiIn and then at Xie Sen. He jumped to the side and waved his arms. "Okay, we'll fight first. If he wants to fight with me in the future, it won't count as me breaking the rules."
MeiIn nodded indifferently. In his opinion, Xie Sen would never fight with Long Teng.
"Wait." Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, the old man stopped them. Long Teng jumped on the spot and shouted, "Grandpa."
The old man glared at him. "Can't you smell the blood on him? If he's injured, you won't be happy even if you win. "
Long Teng wrinkled his nose and asked MeiIn, "Are you injured?"
"No." MeiIn said.
The old man walked closer to MeiIn and sniffed. He looked at him in surprise. "The blood of a long-haired wild boar. You left the city?"
"Grandpa, are you mistaken? He's in the same year as me. The tournament will be held in a week. We don't have permission to leave the city yet."
MeiIn frowned. "No, you're mistaken."
The old man raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Then he smiled. "Maybe I'm mistaken!"
Xie Sen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. If the blood on MeiIn's body was because he left the city, then it would make sense.
But how did he leave the city? According to the rules, citizens who didn't have permission to leave the city were forbidden from leaving.
Could it be that by breaking the law, he only meant to leave the city illegally?
But … Xie Sen couldn't help but worry. If he left the city, the chances of him coming into contact with mutated beasts would be higher!
"You're not injured, so let's fight!" Long Teng urged.
MeiIn nodded and didn't say anything. His body rushed toward Long Teng like a phantom and cleanly kicked out with his leg. His speed was extremely fast, and each of his moves was exceptionally fierce.
Long Teng was extremely excited. He dodged the attacks and attacked at the same time. His mouth kept shouting, "Amazing, watch me!"
The two of them went back and forth, and their moves were very exciting. For a while, neither of them could do anything to the other.
"What's his contract beast?" Xie Sen was engrossed in the fight when he heard the old man's question.
"Giant Lion Beast." Xie Sen said.
Xie Sen was very confused when he answered. Long Teng's description was exactly the same as in the book, but MeiIn was different. In the book, MeiIn's contract beast was a Flying Lion Beast, which was also an S-class beast.
If it was only an A-class contract beast master, he wouldn't be the protagonist's strongest opponent.
"A-class contract beast master?" The old man praised. "He's very powerful. Even an S-class contract beast master might not be able to perform as well as Little Teng."
Xie Sen smiled as if he was praised. He nodded heavily. "Yes, he's very powerful."
"You're very powerful too." The old man's tone changed. "I've seen mimicry beast masters, but I've never seen a mimicry beast that imitates plants. I'm really curious."
He smiled at Xie Sen. "Can you satisfy my curiosity?"
Xie Sen hesitated for a moment. He thought that the more he tried to be secretive, the more suspicious he would be. He nodded. "Yes."
He summoned the Chili Tree and ordered it to do some animal-like actions in his mind. The old man observed carefully and smiled. "You've really learned something."
Xie Sen kept the Chili Tree. The old man suddenly said, "Have you heard of a plant-based contract beast master?"
Xie Sen was shocked. He shook his head. "No."
The old man looked at his expression and smiled. "You young people nowadays are too hard to learn. Actually, contract beasts aren't just animals. They can also be plants."
Xie Sen looked surprised. "Really? That's amazing! "
The old man nodded and suddenly changed the topic. "The spicy jerky is really delicious. I don't know when I'll be able to buy it again. Do you think the shop owner suddenly disappeared because he was worried that he would be targeted for using chili?"
Xie Sen blinked. He was definitely not wrong. The old man must be hinting at something! Including the plant-based contract beast master from before.
The old man did not wait for his answer. He smiled and continued, "Actually, this is not a big deal. If you really don't want people to know, why don't you just cooperate with the Botanical Research Institute? If there's a new plant for research, Dean Ma will definitely be willing to keep it a secret. No one will doubt that the chili was developed by the Research Institute. "
Xie Sen's heart skipped a beat. He said vaguely, "The spicy jerky might not be made of chili."
The old man smiled and nodded. "You're right." He looked at the two people fighting. "Who do you think will win?"
Xie Sen glanced at Sir System and thought to himself, 'Old fox'. He knew that Sir System had probably guessed his identity.
"It might be a draw."
"No, Little Teng will win." The old man smiled. "Your friend doesn't have enough stamina. When he comes back, his stamina won't be as good as Little Teng's."
Just like what the old man said, twenty minutes later, MeiIn lost to Long Teng by a single move. Long Teng happily hugged MeiIn's shoulder. He was slapped away by MeiIn. He did not care and followed him to the apartment.
He smiled brightly and patted MeiIn's shoulder. "How refreshing! You're very good. My win today doesn't count. You only lost to stamina. Let's fight again tomorrow! "
"No." MeiIn rejected him without thinking.
Long Teng was about to say something when the old man slapped the back of his head. "Who's as bored as you who only knows how to fight every day?"
MeiIn opened the door and walked into the apartment. Xie Sen followed behind him. The old man and Long Teng followed behind.
"Is there anything else?" MeiIn tilted his head and asked.
The old man smiled. "I just moved here a week ago. My name is Xu Da. You can call me Grandpa. I'm this kid's grandfather." He pointed at Long Teng. "You're classmates, right?"
"Yes, they're all classmates!" Long Teng said quickly. "Grandpa, why are you looking for them?"
"It's all for you!" The old man glared at him and looked at MeiIn. "Bring this kid with you when you participate in the league. You saw it yourself. He's good at fighting and won't be a burden."
"I can do it alone. I don't need a team." Long Teng patted his chest confidently and pointed at MeiIn. "I want to be his opponent. I can fight with him!"
The old man slapped his face. "You idiot. Stop talking. You don't want teammates. Do you want to spend the rest of your life on the island?"
